Definition of Imperial Cup

The cup is an English unit of volume, most commonly associated with cooking and serving sizes. It is traditionally equal to half a liquid pint in either US customary units or the British imperial system but is now separately defined in terms of the metric system at values between 1⁄5 and 1⁄4 of a liter. Because actual drinking cups may differ greatly from the size of this unit, standard measuring cups are usually used instead. The official imperial cup was half an imperial pint or 10 imperial fluid ounces. It is no longer in common use, but appears in older recipe books. One imperial cup is equal to 284 millilitres.

Definition of Liter

The liter (also written "litre"; SI symbol L or l) is a non-SI metric system unit of volume. It is equal to 1 cubic decimeter (dm3), 1,000 cubic centimeters (cm3) or 1/1,000 cubic meter. The mass of one liter liquid water is almost exactly one kilogram. A liter is defined as a special name for a cubic decimeter or 10 centimeters × 10 centimeters × 10 centimeters, thus, 1 L ≡ 1 dm3 ≡ 1000 cm3.
